+#### Autonomic
+
+Refers to the self-managing characteristics of distributed computing resources,
+adapting to unpredictable changes while hiding intrinsic complexity to
+operators and users.
+
+
+#### Blueprint
+
+A description of an application or system, which can be used for its automated
+deployment and runtime management. The blueprint describes a model of the
+application (i.e. its components, their configuration, and their
+relationships), along with policies for runtime management. The blueprint can
+be described in [YAML][].
+
+###### See also
+* [Documentation]({{site.url}}/learnmore/catalog/index.html) for the entity,
+ policy and enricher blueprints that Apache Brooklyn supports out-of-the-box.
+
+
+#### Effector
+
+An operation on an [entity][].
+
+
+#### Entity
+
+A component of an application or system. This could be a physical component, a
+service, a grouping of components, or a logical construct describing part of an
+application/system. It is a "managed element" in autonomic computing parlance.
+
+
+#### Policy
+
+Part of an autonomic management system, performing runtime management. A policy
+is associated with an [entity][]; it normally manages the health of that entity
+or an associated group of entities (e.g. HA policies or auto-scaling policies).
+
+
+#### Sensor
+
+An attribute of an [entity][].
+
+
+#### YAML
+
+A human-readable data format.
+
+###### See also
+* [Wikipedia article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML) on YAML
+
+
+#### Apache Jclouds
+
+An open source Java library that provides a consistent interface to many
+clouds. Apache Brooklyn uses Apache Jclouds as its core cloud abstraction.
+

+
+
+#### CAMP and TOSCA
+
+OASIS Cloud Application Management for Platforms (CAMP) and OASIS Topology and
+Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) are specifications
+that aim to standardise the portability and management of cloud applications.
